(For those of you who haven’t seen the Antonioni film of the same title, this likely makes no sense.) I’ve done a bit of film-shooting lately with the old Ricoh 35-ZF, and I took a roll of Ilford HP-5 400 film to be developed and scanned, and the nice people gave me a 4×6 version …

365.91 Ohne Titel (niedlich auge)
A second set of attempts (see 365.15 for the first set…) to capture my right eye with a reversed 75-150, this time with flash to minimize the effects of the eye shake focus, but still fail. I tried reversed, reversed with 52mm of extensions, reversed with 104mm of extension, and mounted straight, but with 104mm …
365.90 Part III: Bad 1970s Concert Poster
(See Part I and Part II) Just for kicks, I decided to copy the original and see what Topaz Labs had to offer the 365 today… I thought about writing down all the presets I went through, but thought I would remember and was sure I wouldn’t mess around too long… and 5 or 6 …

So I returned saturation to its original point, and tried out various …

In honor of the 3 full Months I’ve been on this now, today’s 365 project comes in 3 parts… Part 1: the Original D7000. 24mm f/2.8 ai, reversed, on 104mm of extensions, and mounted on a GorillaPod and attempting to focus on the dust on the MacBook Pro, when I scooched when I should’ve leaned …
365.89 Abstraktes Bild
After making 150-odd pictures with the 24mm f/2.8 ai, reversed and on 104mm of extension, and having extreme difficulty with composition and framing, and cursing the quick grip ball head and its extreme lack of precision (and actually quite desperate for a wider angle), I went back to the old standby: the 75-150mm f/3.5 E …
365.88 Longboarding UTD
From the UTD Photowalk/Hipstamatic recipe test with momma this morning, and born out of much grinding of teeth and horrible fear, this photo was shot with Hipstamatic on an iPhone 4. I used the Loftus lens and Big Up film, and this kid knew I was shooting him. I stood in on spot, phone raised …
